The motor is almost ready to be bolted back on the frame! Just need to get the converter on order.

Looks great Pat.. Where did you find the valve covers or did you just get yours re-chromed ?

Jamie,
I have the originals painted and stored, the chrome VC I ordered from Ames. I know my car didn’t come with chrome VC but I just had to add them!
Thanks!

Looks great Pat.  Is that Gold paint in the middle of your clutch fan or is that the original plating and how did you get it to look like that? It looks like the factory plating much like that on the brake booster. 

Michael,
I mix Mat silver and satin gold to get the look!
Thank You!
Pat

Kurt and I put the motor and the trans on the frame today. I still need a few things here & there on the motor, I just need to see another 72 T/A with air!
I keep looking for another 72 T/A at car shows and cruise-in with no luck!
